Extract fan repair in Lisson Grove
Kitchens in Lisson Grove call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you are dealing with a worn or slipping fan belt and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can put it right.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
In Lisson Grove, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. It’s better booked as a planned job in Lisson Grove than handled as an emergency.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Lisson Grove
Is parking a problem for work in Lisson Grove?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Lisson Grove makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Lisson Grove out of hours?
Lisson Grove is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

When a fan fails in Lisson Grove
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,570 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 288 sandwich bars and takeaways in Lisson Grove and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Kitchens in Lisson Grove get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Gateway Academy or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. Hall kitchens near St Paul's Community Church, or anywhere around Lisson Grove, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you run a kitchen close to London Marylebone station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and we clear up before we go. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Lisson Grove is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
